Search within your shop or in Etsy search?

Search in Etsy Search doesn't show my listing

Your items are not indexed.

Contact Etsy support again and specifically mention that your items are NOT INDEXED.

Only Etsy can solve this problem for you.

i will try again to contact them. i will update the status of the case

I think your items ARE indexed  - I searched for 'baby' within your shop homepage and got 4 listings in the results.

I do however see your listing language as German, so maybe you would benefit from turning on automatic translations.

Perhaps you could give us an example of one of the listings that is not appearing in search - what is the full title? Copy/paste that into the main search box and then filter the results for Germany to see if it will appear. It might just be at the back.

thanks for your reply.

you are right the shop based in Germany.

here is one of the listings that are not showing in the search result:

Kuscheltier personalisiert Baby personalisiertes Geburtsgeschenk zur Geburt Elefant Kuscheltier zur Taufe Geschenk für Baby

i have tried to search using part of the Titel as Example: 

Kuscheltier personalisiert Baby personalisiertes Geburtsgeschenk zur Geburt

also doesn't work

Etsy support advice during the Chat was really confusing. they advised me to inactivate the many Languages and keep only the German language, moreover, the other advice was to make the titel shorter.

@TinyshineDE: You can always check to see if your listings are indexed by searching within your own shop.

Keep in mind that if everyone on this forum searched for the exact same phrase they would all get different results. Because of "personalized searches" you can NOT rely on anyone's search results to define how your listing is ranked. There are many many factors that affect listing placement and the relative weight of each factor probably changes constantly. Even exact word matches to your title no longer ensure that you will appear on page 1. Your listing may be appearing on page 251 and Etsy is only showing the first 250 pages to the world.

You need to give up on the concept of Etsy search providing the results that you expect. Etsy is proud of the fact that they provide search results which they think you will actually purchase regardless of what you actually searched for.

There is a very interesting post at https://community.etsy.com/t5/Marketing-Your-Business/Etsy-search-is-moving-away-from-relevancy/td-p... that you may want to take the time to read.

You are in some highly competitive niches and your item is very similar to a bunch of other listings for a stuffed elephant. Etsy only shows the top 15,600 listings for any one search term, so if you aren't ranking at least that high, you won't appear in the search engine. But I am not finding any elephants when I search within your store, so you probably aren't indexed. Contact Etsy and tell them you aren't indexed. 

You can also submit your product pages directly to the Google search engine.
